More War on more Waste

Craig Reucassel will return this year in a special to look at the impact of ABC series.

ABC has confirmed a follow-up to its hit doco series War on Waste to screen later this year.

The special, which Craig Reucassel flagged earlier, will look at what impact the show has had in changing Australian habits.

 

ABC claims the series has reached a total of 2.6 million metro viewers. It is the top ABC program this year among the Under 50s demo and has clocked up more than 450,000 plays over the past month.

The #WarOnWasteAU social campaign has been the biggest in ABC’s history with ABC’s Facebook video highlighting ‘Banana Wastage’ achieving a staggering 14 million combined views, 432,522 reactions, comments and shares and a reach of 18.6 million.

More than 200,000 visits have been registered at a support site, with over 30,000 people taking part in an online survey.

Other actions including online tutorials through Compost Revolution, #BYOCoffeeCup campaigns and petitions have also drawn attention. A War on Waste podcast is also available.

Production Credits: Keo Films Production in association with ABC, Screen Australia and Screen NSW. Series Producer Sandra Welkerling, Executive Producer Jodi Boylan. ABC Commissioning Editor Stephen Oliver, Head of Factual Steve Bibb.

  1. I watched the UK version and the ABC one, both amazingly similar and both very good. I just hope it wakes up some people to the problems but I think the government need to step up and do more for recycling.

  2. This series had been sitting on my iQ planner for ages, and I only just watched it this week and loved it. One of the best documentaries I’ve seen. A serious issue made with a bit of classic Chaser cheek. So glad they will do a follow up.
